This evidence-based program helps teens recognize the difference between caring, supportive relationships and controlling, manipulative, or abusive relationships. It is during the critical preteen and teen years that young people begin to learn the skills needed to create and foster positive relationships. Safe Dates equips young people with the tools they need to develop these important life skills. Highly engaging and interactive, Safe Dates reflects the issues today's teens face. This is intended to be facilitated by trained facilitators. In Eau Claire County, we facilitate Safe Dates at Augusta High School, Fall Creek High School, McKinley Charter School, ECASD schools through Systems of Care and Life Without Limits, and through community organizations including Eau Claire Area Hmong Mutual Assistance Association's Building Bridges program, Western Dairyland's Fresh Start Program and more.

HIP Teens is a group-level, gender-specific and developmentally tailored sexual risk-reduction intervention. The intervention is delivered to groups of 6 -9 adolescents and is designed to provide HIV prevention information, to increase readiness to reduce risk behaviors, and to instruct, model, and allow sexually active adolescent females to practice interpersonal and self-management skills that facilitate sexual risk reduction and condom use. Sessions include developmentally appropriate strategies such as games, activities, and skits, as well as opportunities for role playing and receiving positive reinforcement from facilitators and other participants. Early sessions practice basic skills and review simple situations. As sessions progress, scenarios become more challenging and draw on participants’ experience. In Eau Claire County this program is currently facilitated with ECASD through the Systems of Care, Life Without Limits, Western Dairyland's Fresh Start, McKinley Charter School and the Juvenile Detention Center.
